Authored by: sjonke on Feb 24, '03 10:41:54AM

Uhh... is something missing here or is that really the hint?

Hint...
Authored by: robg on Feb 24, '03 10:54:13AM

Until i tried it, I had no idea that dragging and dropping a file onto Mail's dock icon would create a new message with that file attached.

Seems like a hint to me.

Ahh.... I thought the hint would tell us how to work around the issue with dropping multiple attachments making multiple messages. Mac mail applications have supported dropping files on their icon (wherever it is: in the dock or in the Finder) for quite some time (back in OS <= 9.x), but then not all of us are kooky enough to have been using Macs since the Mac SE days. :)

Then there are those of us that are that kooky, but had never tried dragging and dropping a file on the email application icon ;-).

This ties into a previous hint, but if you drag multiple files, cmd-tab to Mail and tap cmd-n to make a new message, you can drop them all into one email.
